Iran's foreign minister says Iran has unfinished business with Israel in response to Netanyahu

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi said Iran has unfinished business with Israel, in a social media post responding to rhetoric from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The remarks were reported by Mehr News Agency.

In the post on X, Araghchi wrote: "Last time you wanted to 'finish the job', Iran emerged even stronger. Want to try your luck again? Be our guest. But be careful; we have unfinished jobs too." The statement was addressed to the Israeli prime minister and referred to previous exchanges between the two sides.

Araghchi further wrote that "Netanyahu is driving America into another war to stay out of jail, whatever the consequences for Israel—let alone POTUS." The foreign minister's post linked the Israeli prime minister's position to his domestic legal situation and accused him of seeking to draw the United States into a new conflict.

The exchange comes amid continuing tension between Iran and Israel, and between Iran and the United States. The post did not provide further details on what the foreign minister described as unfinished business, and no additional official statement was included in the report.

According to Mehr News, the foreign minister's comments were made in direct response to recent rhetoric from the Israeli prime minister. The report did not specify which remarks by Netanyahu prompted the post, nor did it give a date for the statement beyond describing it as a social media post.
